The Agrodome! What is an agrodome? It's not a dome and has nothing to do with agro-culture, but it is a good friendly place to do a little sheep-watching. I've decided that they could achieve total commercial success if they would only publish the "New Zealand Guide to Sheep," much like similar volumes for birds, plants, animals... After visiting the agrodome the avid sheepwatcher could cross off all the various varieties as "Have Seen", the credo of the tourist. The Agrodome is apparently owned and operated by a single man, a refreshing break from the other places run by the Tourism Bureau (or whatever it is really called). He shows "19 Champion Rams" all of different breeds, which are the basic varieties of sheep bred in New Zealand. H gives just enough of the ancestry of each of the breeds. Basically there are only a couple of purebreds -- the rest are crosses of these. Then he proceeds with a sheepshearing, a brief demo of a sheepdog; then you can go outside to watch a sheepdog perform with sheep. Overall an enjoyable performance, highly recommended.
